It goes on and on like this. Pgh is NOT any better than other teams with later draft picks and they have even failed on tons of 2nd and 3rd rounders as well. Over all, they get it done, but don't tell me they excel on later day picks, because they really don't.

Pathetic analysis. Every team's list would look very similar. The way you judge a team's ability to draft is by their championship history. The Steelers rarely sign bigtime Free Agents and yet they have the second most superbowls in the last decade. I think that speaks for itself.

Worilds isn't a bust...who was he going to beat out? Pro Bowler LaMarr Woodley or DPOY James Harrison? When he's played, he's performed well...

Curtis Brown won't be cut...

Daniel Sepulveda did produce...he just got hurt...a lot...

I understand taking a "Devil's Advocate" position, but at least offer some support for your opinion instead of blanket generalizations...an unsupported sweeping statement generally gets disregarded very quickly...

I can understand cautious optimism, but the analysis here is maddeningly bad.

also, they say belichek is a master at drafting yet look at their recent drafts.

ben troupe and marouney 1st rounders and those are just 2 off the top of my head

Let's not get drunk here. I was addressing the chap who claimed Pgh was better at late drafting than other teams. In reality, that's just not true, and I illustrated the specifics. I never said they "stink at drafting" but just the claim that they were superior late drafters as inaccurate. They don't find any more sleeper picks than most teams, as the evidence clearly demonstrates. They _ARE_ more likely to hit big on the first rounders, than are teams on average, but that was never the assertion. And I have to just laugh: Just because Foot won two super bowl rings it means he is an above average LB? How does that logic work again?

And

Shallow, frankly disrespectful words attached to many of the players. Look deeper; there are many variables and explanations why some make it and some do not, injuries, coaching, personal problems, immaturity, etc. If all these guys "made it", our roster would have to be about 175 players. It's the intense competition to "make it" in the league that makes NFL football such high quality.

Narcissistic injury is the term used for any threat to a narcissist's outsized ego or self-esteem.
